Good day to you. We are sorry to inform you that there is no way to change the loading screen of TA500. You can only change the background image of the device. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I hv update the bitmap files sucessfully but the picture is upside down. So i edit the picture correctly and re-update it over again. Unfortunately it does not display correctly after that.i have tested several times but still failed.
